Lebanese Events in NYC

Lebanese culture is woven into the fabric of New York — from Brooklyn Heights and Bay Ridge to Astoria, from summer street festivals to church-hall mezze nights that never quite end. Menna tracks every upcoming Lebanese event in NYC across all five boroughs so you can find the next festival, dinner, or dabke night without hunting across a dozen Instagram pages.

Expect the full range: live music from touring Lebanese artists at venues like SOB's, Drom, and Sultan Room; comedy nights with diaspora stand-ups; food events from mezze pop-ups and mankoushe brunches to full multi-course chef dinners (Mezze on the Plaza, the Shawarma Social); film at Metrograph, IFC Center, and MoMA; and the recurring community anchors — St. Nicholas and St. George Cathedral festivals, Lebanese-American organization galas, and Ramadan and Easter gatherings. Lebanese Independence Day on November 22 brings its own concentrated week of programming.

Whether you grew up watching Studio El Fan on satellite or you're just discovering Lebanese cuisine beyond hummus — this is the calendar. Browse what's coming up below; the list updates as new events are announced.
